Messenger Orthodontics is the result of years of education and experience as a patient, mother, dentist, and orthodontist. Our boutique-style practice is unique in design and feel. My goal is to make our patient's orthodontic journey as personal, memorable, and fun as possible. As an Orange County native, I love the beach, its' lifestyle and beauty.
I have designed my practice with this in mind. Our office is modern, bright, and filled with interesting and fun details throughout for our orthodontic families to enjoy. As a practicing orthodontist, I feel that it is essential to provide the most outstanding care. I am a board-certified specialist in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, a distinction held by only 30% of orthodontists.

Services
Messenger Orthodontics was built in 2018 with eco-friendly and green concepts in mind. Our dental vacuum is waterless, preserving gallons of water every day (Wet vacuums use about 200,000 gallons of water per year!). We also utilize the environment friendly, Vista Pure Filtration system, which provides purified water for our dental units, autoclave, and instrument washer.
Calista is a native of Orange County and currently enrolled at Orange Coast College pursuing a degree in engineering. She is one of the first faces you will see when coming into the office and is always happy to help you with your scheduling needs. In her free time (which isn't much) she spends time with her pups and also loves to do any kind of craft.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children get an orthodontic evaluation at the age of 7 to check the growth and development of the teeth and jaws. If early treatment is indicated this is known as Phase I treatment. Whether you have never had orthodontic treatment or have had some movement since your braces came off it's never too late to make a perfect smile.
We understand that sometimes life can be busy. Between school, work, sports, and other activities, it might be hard to find the time to make it to our office for a consultation. Our virtual smile assessment allows you to simply email photos of your smile to our office for a complimentary review. Dr. Messenger will review your photos and get back to you as soon as possible.

I was referred to Dr. Messenger by a friend who insisted that I go to her. I immediately fell in love with the beautiful office, the young bubbly staff, and Dr. M's very thorough and conservative approach to my difficult case. I felt like she really cared about my outcome and I am so thankful for my perfect smile.

If I could rate Dr.Messenger and her staff 10 stars, I would. There is such a feeling of family here, and everyone is so genuinely nice and helpful. Most importantly, Dr. Messenger has given my daughter a level of care that is second to none. Her tremendous skill and professionalism is truly unbelievable! If you are looking for a skilled and caring orthodontist for your child, look no further!

Dr Messengers office was sparkling clean. During this time, it’s so reassuring that such care is placed on keeping us all safe. The staff was SUPER easy to work with and had positive attitudes with kids. Dr Messenger herself is well-spoken, clear and very friendly to work with. Not to mention a Wonder Woman with straightening teeth to a beautiful smile!

Where do I start.... This office is everything! If you are looking for a place that is quality and makes you feel like a person (not a number), this is the office for you. The details say it all... Welcome signs with your name, fun programs like Messenger Money and all the cute swag, to the beautiful and bright office. They make the whole experience so much fun! Dr. M and Shannon are also the best! Very friendly & knowledgeable! I highly recommend.

I transferred from another office & was absolutely blown away with how modern & clean the office was. When I went in for my initial consultation they took in house x-rays which was so awesome & something I had never experienced. My consultation was quick & informative. All the women were so nice & had smiles on their faces, they all made me feel so welcomed! Can’t wait to continue my treatment with Dr. M!

Very kind and welcoming experience. I went in for a consultation. Shannon was very kind, attentive, and informative. Dr. Messenger is the best. I felt very welcomed the whole time. The office is very beautiful, bright, inviting, and open. You can tell that they take great pride in their work and business. The little things like their quote package and the welcome screen with your name on it, shows that they care about the guest experience. :)
